BERNINA Halloween 2011 - Steampunk pilot (female)

Description

My boyfriend and I have really fell in love with the artistry and beauty in Steampunk. This year, we decided we would go all out in full Steampunk gear…. =)

He decided to be a pilot and I was debating between two costumes and ended up making them both! So, here I am, decked out as a female pilot. I made my pleather bomber hat (which was really, really hard!), scarf, brown skirt, pink tights and accessories!

100% pleather. No animals were harmed in the making of this costume!

Photos were taken by a friend of ours, Ilan Rosen, photographer.

Material Notes

Pleather. Lots and lots. Hat and coat 100% pleather!
Cotton (cause the other side of pleather doesn’t feel nice and soft!).
Satin and lace for the skirt.
Lace with stretch for the tights.

New Bodysuit Sloper!
